Our Italian Summer by Jennifer Probst

bridget_h's review

4.0

I have no idea why I waited so long to read this book - it was really delightful. I love the story of the three generations of women going on a trip together. The romance storylines were woven throughout without overpowering the family relationships. And most importantly, if you haven't been to Italy and want to go but can't because of travel restrictions or you just want to relive a trip you already took, this is definitely the book for you. Thanks to the publisher and netgalley for the eARC in exchange for my honest review.

This story was so beautiful to read, following the 3 generations of the Ferrari women, each with their own issues and their struggle to form positive relationships with each other. It was also so lovely to 'travel' around Italy through the characters in this book (something that I'm incredibly missing right now!)

Three generations of women vacation in Italy. Each has a secret and the relationships are strained. Will vacation help them reconnect and find a way to communicate? A story of family and misunderstandings and discovering what is truly important.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for providing an ARC for my honest review.

DNF on page 83. The writing is poor, and extremely cliche not even cute cliche but overdone cliche. Overworking single mom, “rebelling” teenage daughter who met people one time and considered traveling the country with them (???), not to mention the most thoughtless Italian names (Francesca Ferrari yes girl give us nothing). I put my foot down when one of the characters mentions the duomo and the next character says the view of Rome is great...was a map even consulted?? Anyway idk why I’m so mad about this book but I am

This was a beautiful, emotional and well written story. When you read one of Jennifer Probst stories you definitely feel that you are in between the pages, she make everything so relatable. It does my heart good to read one of her books!

I really enjoyed this one. It is definitely more women’s fiction than romance, but that’s okay. I loved the relationship between the three women. Jennifer wrote it beautifully, as always. Thanks to Jennifer and Valentine PR for the ARC!

Although a bit predictable, I really enjoyed it and finished it in two days. And who wouldn’t love a book set in Italy?
